Evangelicalism Part 1: Examine the Lens. What is it? Where's your starting point? Artwork

Like Minded Deviants

Like-Minded Deviants with Dr. Lindy Backues, Jon-Michael Odean, and Justin Stewart-Fritz is a podcast that seeks to deviate from the norm. As two of Lindy’s former graduate students, Justin and Jon-Michael bring an extended friendship with him cultivated over years, enriched by their present ministries, life as educators, a good dose of grassroots practitioning, and deep respect as close friends and colleagues. Each week these three come prepared to engage in a provocative conversation. A conversation that intentionally and sometimes irreverently unpacks events and ideas plucked from newspapers and headlines, unashamedly channeling these conversations through a theologically jarring lens.

Evangelicalism Part 1: Examine the Lens. What is it? Where's your starting point?

March 01, 2022 • Dr. Lindy Backues, Justin Stewart-Fritz, Jon-Michael Odean • Season 2 • Episode 1

Welcome back for season 2 of the Like-Minded Deviants Podcast! We begin season 2 with the first in our multi-episode module on Evangelism.

In this episode, we take a biographical and personal look at what has come to be called Evangelicalism in the West--predominantly the cultural phenomena in the United States. Where did it come from? What was it in response to? What did it do? How has it changed?

JM and JSF give us some insight into their own family histories as they have woven in and out of the history of Evangelicalism over the last several decades. Lindy throws into the mix of this history, baggage, and mix of blessings an older but somewhat different perspective that he has experienced.

As always we want these to be informed by YOU, so let us know what you think, send us your thoughts, we may even try a few!
